There is no age for Learning!

Today, I would like to share an inspiring story of Shree Praveen Vasishth (BSc Civil Engineering, Msc Structural Engineering from Delhi college of Engineering). He is 70+ years old. He served Central Electricity Authority (CEA) at various positions, starting from design assistant to Director T.C.D. for overall span of ~34 years. During his tenure, he was involved in the civil & structural design of thermal power plants across the country. Unfortunately, he got permanent disability before ~3 years.

The physical limitations, substantial reduction in hearing capacity, older age etc. have not at all affected his desire of learning further. He attended our FOUR online courses (STAAD-STR-001, EQ-STR-001, STEEL-STR-001, ETABS-STR-002) in the last year.

I must say that he is one of the most punctual participant and having the highest attendance in all the four courses!

He is truly an inspiration for all of us that there is no age for learning and no physical limitations can restrict you if there is a strong desire for learning!!

We are going to schedule the courses based on demand of engineers. You may fill up the Pre-Registration form wherein you can select the number of courses as per your interest as well as you can suggest the new courses at following link. Your valuable feedback will immensely help us to prioritize the courses.

First LinkedIn Live session – Importance of interface between Geotechnical engineer & Structural engineer

Glad to announce our first LinkedIn Live session on 24-DEC-20 at 11:00AM IST related to importance of the interface between Geotechnical engineer & Structural engineer.

For safety & stability of the structure as well as for the cost optimization, interface between geotechnical engineer and structural engineer is extremely important in the project. We will discuss few such important interface areas and also, we will take up the discussion points suggested by the participants through live chat.

Vivek Kumar MITRA (Founder & CEO, VKM Geotechnics) will join us in the live session.

First Facebook Live session of SQVe Consultants : Importance of interface between Geotechnical and Structural engineers

We had an interesting conversation on the subject : Importance of interface between Geotechnical & Structural Engineers. Your further comments / queries on the subject are invited.

For safety of the structure and cost optimisation, appropriate geotechnical investigation is extremely important. Apart from definite statistics, it can be said that the geotechnical failures are one of the major causes for collapse of the structures. In the typical fast track projects, sometimes proper interface is not carried out between geotechnical engineer and structural engineer which may affect adversely the major goals of engineering, i.e. safety of the structure and cost optimisation. Also, the project may get delayed substantially due to inappropriate soil investigation or may be due to lack of interface between geotechnical engineer and structural engineer.

VIVEK KUMAR MITRA is a renowned consultant in Geotechnical Engineering. He commenced his career as a GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER at TATA Consulting Engineers Limited, Mumbai. Later he moved to organization like Bureau Veritas, Reliance, Impac, Egis Consulting Engineers. He was at Abu Dhabi for mega artificial Island Project in 2013 and represented ADNOC. He is geotechnical consultant for projects at Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Dubai.He has worked in projects in the areas of Offshore, Infrastructure, Power, Refinery, Petrochemicals & Marine. He also handled with distinction various projects in Ports & Harbors, Mega-Infrastructure, Artificial Islands, Dredging / Land Reclamation and Oil & Gas, Ground Improvement for ultra-soft soil. He is the Founder & CEO of VKM GEOTECHNICS which he started in 2019.

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

Mr. Bhavin Shah is passionate about Engineering profession with two decades of experience. He is having a dream for enhancing the engineering profession in different organisations. He completed graduation in Civil Engineering and Masters in Structures from Sardar Patel University. He is having unique experience of working in the specialized firm of civil / structural consultancy which grew as multidisciplinary firm (VMS), large multidisciplinary firm (L&T Chiyoda Ltd.) and owner based engineering set up (Adani Infra (I) Ltd.).
